In the recently argument over the discussion about Self-Deception,non-intentional models dominate the landscape. However, the phenomenon of"twisted self-deception"which termed by Alfred Mele make kind of trouble to the Non-Intentionalist. In this essay, I will work on making another model to explain the"twisted Self-Deception"by taking Frankfurt's theory about order-desires which should be in the field of philosophy of mind, and analyze this model by Searle's Conception of Intentionality. By the time I make this explanation stronger, I will talk about the relationship between Self-deception and Free Will,we will see that Free Will cloud make the Self-Deception possible.
